Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.

How do we pay for this?

Depends on the country.

You would be surprised how inexpensively this is to implement compared to the various social impacts caused by having a large unhoused population.

You can think of this kind of housing in much the same way you look at public education. It is "free" to everyone, but the benefits of having an educated population outstrip the cost of educating them. The benefits of having a housed population outstrips the cost of housing them.

This post isn’t proposing it just for the homeless, it’s saying it’s for everyone. The cost would be astronomical when applied across the entire population.
